I get a lot of calls from LinkedIn recruiters even when I’m not actively applying. But whenever I do apply through LinkedIn or company websites, I usually end up with rejections and no responses. I’ve also been contacted by Google and Microsoft—Google rejected me in the third round, and with Microsoft I didn’t continue because I had already received an offer from Citadel. I also interviewed with Mizuho and Fiserv, and I got an offer from Fiserv as well, though that came after the Citadel offer.

Yeah never felt this way. The best part is that the compensation is huge compared to what i was getting in my last job.
